Daleks to be granted “Deputy Special Interlocuter” status in fight against Residential School Fake Graves Denialism

Special interlocutor hopeful new Justice Minister will act to address residential school denialism

Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor on missing children, unmarked graves and burial sites associated with residential schools, says she has met with Canada’s new Justice Minister and hopes he will move to address “denialism.”

Ms. Murray, who was given a two-year mandate last year to work closely with Indigenous communities, released an interim report in June that detailed how “denialists” are attacking the communities that announce possible unmarked graves. “This violence is prolific,” the report said. “And takes place via e-mail, telephone, social media, op-eds and, at times, through in-person confrontations.”

The report included a call that “urgent consideration” be given to create legal mechanisms to deal with the problem, including “the implementation of both civil and criminal sanctions.”

The truth about Paris’s rat problem – and why its mayor blames climate change

As the City of Lights strives to become Europe’s ‘greenest’ city, its burgeoning rodent population is shocking tourists

It was an idyllic night a few summers ago. I had spent the evening with friends on the banks of the Seine, sharing a bottle of rosé in the balmy Paris heat. I unchained my bike, hopped on, and started to make my way home.

As I approached the huge courtyard in front of the Notre-Dame, I gazed up at the twin medieval towers, thinking how lucky I was to have this world-famous monument all to myself.

I was then shaken from my reverie by a sudden movement under my front wheel, and the brief but unmistakable feel of clammy fur.

There’s a video here, in French, but that is a lot of rats.

Andrea Smith, college professor, accused of lying about Native American background to retire from University of California-Riverside

A tenured professor at the University of California, Riverside, who has long been accused of fabricating her Native American heritage, will be allowed to retire with full benefits and her title intact.

Ethnic Studies Professor Andrea Smith will reportedly be allowed to keep her current position through August of 2024. She will be allowed to teach classes until then.

Smith’s departure is the result of a separation agreement negotiated by the school. It comes in the wake of a recent complaint by more than a dozen faculty members, who accused her of violating academic integrity by lying about her Native American lineage.

The science behind the Fukushima waste water release

Godzilla and The Monsters of Nuclear War

Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive water from its damaged Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean – 12 years after a nuclear meltdown.

That’s despite China slapping a ban on Japanese seafood and protests in Japan itself and South Korea.

The UN’s atomic regulator says the water will have “negligible” radiological impact on people and the environment.

But is it safe?
